Why does all snake look like black mamba to you guys? Black mamba is not black but pale grey, it has black pigmentation in the mouth that is why it's black mamba, most are green and if it is black mamba that dog would have been dead already

Thank you. I don't know why anyone would think a dog will survive the night with a bite from a mamba.

At about 10:58pm yesterday, my dog barked just once, i was surprised because i just left the sitting room. I woke up this morning to see this long black snake lying dead in my sitting room outside door.
My dog couldn't stand up nor eat. But i have taken her to my vet doctor for treatment.
Please what is the name of this snake and does it have deadly venom?

The the incident happened last night and you created this thread this afternoon, I doubt this snake is a mamba or Cobra. I even doubt the venom is potent, because your dog couldn't have survived the night with a single bite talk less of being alive as at when you posted this.

Kwara was one of the largest states then. We had donated to Kogi, Niger and Kebbi, yet we still remain one of the largest in terms of land mass. I am surprised, Igbomina State, comprising parts of Osun, Kwara didn't scaled through.

Some part of Osun and Ekiti were part of Kwara. I think it will be easier to merge Kwara south and kogi west to form the 7th SW state than just Igbomina

I don't think we're going to have another batch before we go our separate ways.

2k shared apartment rent in New Smyrna Beach is not the only place to live in Florida and definitely not the only place to live in the US. I can also tell you 2 bedroom apartment in Silver Spring MD is 2.5k monthly. I can give you other cost effective options all over US, even in Florida. So dont make it sound like the best 2k/month can get you all over US is a room in a shared apartment.
Btw My comparison was that a university graduate in NAFDAC with salary of 250k/month with similar skillset/knowledge will command income of 60k/yr upwards in the US(assuming work permit is sorted).
i said 2k income in the US is generally for unskilled, uneducated, high school grads doing gap year, immigrant still trying to get papers and all. - I never said 2k income will live a better life than 250k income in Nigeria( however if u look at things in Nigeria today, it is arguable)
- i dont know how Rwanda entered the story, i dont know what's obtainable in Rwanda but i know in Lagos and Abuja and PH where u can find plenty people earning 250k/month. For 1 bedroom apartment in a places like Ikosi Ketu(lagos), Kubwa(abuja) u will spend 50% of that your 250k income on rent...and these locations are not even decent like that

60k annual pay is still very good in the US if you ask me. I agree the value of naira against dollar somehow affects the overall purchasing power in Nigeria, but it shouldn't get to the point where we'll be converting salaries to dollars. You can't spend half of 3m on rent in Ketu and Kubwa and still complain the apartments are not decent.
Since it's OK to compare now, is it now OK to charge even 2k dollars annually for an average apartment in Kubwa? Or how decent will an apartment be in the US if what you're paying annually is the equivalent of 1.5million naira (that's half of 250k pay annually)?

The Christian guy I replied mentioned Saudi Arabia and not Mecca and Medina. Every country has the right to enact laws to restrict whoever they want from certain places. How many Muslims exists at all in Vatican city, a city created for the Pope?

Hitler wasn't a Muslim.
And the Christian revolution was not caused by Muslims.

Lies are clear from truth!

The last time I checked, Vatican is not closed to anyone who wants to enter. Abi you go Rome, dem pursue, but we know what you guys are hiding from the world in Mecca and Medina.
That someone is not a Moslem does not automatically make them a Christian. Unlike Islam where all you're required to do is to say you submit to Allah, a Christian essentially means someone that's Christlike. Going to church and calling yourself a Christian doesn't make you one if you're not living according to the dictate of Jesus.
While people like Osama bin laden are considered good Muslim because he's following the tenets of Islam, same can not be said about Hitler because he goes against the very faith of Jesus.

But according to stat, the people you call illiterates are the most learned in Nigeria. Even more than your people.
Anything to trend.
We call it trolling years later but that is how bile the heart of some people are.

People that don't gain anything from the politicians will be bashing themselves online while the politicians party all around the world. Unless you are paid in millions to do this,

If you claim you're educated but still can't read before making stupid comments, then your education is a waste and you're no better than an illiterate.
IBM that's has been facing downward trends in their fortunes globally is now the Nigerian president's faults. This is 2025, financial institutions in Nigeria are revamping their infrastructures, and IBM is no longer their choice, and that means some other organizations are taking their market shares, except your rotten brain is leading you to believe our Banks are shutting down too.

people in US with comparable skills n knowledge to the person earning 250k in nafdac are earning $5k per month. 2k per month salary na for people wey no get skill/education or person wey finish high school wan make small money before dem go university or immigrant wey no get right work permit. and low earners like that still get refund from their taxes at the end of the year, a lot of them still get much more than equivalent of N250k times 12

Shared apartment in New Smyrna Beach, Florida is almost $2000 monthly. I guess you now know where all those money goes.
You earn big in the US, you also spend it there. I don't see any serious sense in converting his salary to dollars when we know even with the sorry state of naira, he'll still live a better life than someone earning 2k monthly in the US.
A mini flat in Rwanda is equivalent of 350k in naira. Things you can buy at 8k in Nigeria are almost equivalent of 17k over there. Their taxes are higher too.
You guys should stop comparing the incomparable.

Like joke like joke Gaza will be taken and those terrorist supporters will do nothing after pushing Hamas to go on. No more useless protest in USA, do it and get deported. Everywhere now is quiet.
Iran loudly quiet.
Not even their usual talks without action.

The part that no terrorist is now allowed to openly support one of their organizations, Hamas, in the US, pleases me the most. Do it and you're on the next flight to Gaza. 😂

Every one is not dumb like you

Hitler was born in Austria in 1889 to a Catholic family. His parents, Alois and Klara, were both devout Catholics, and Hitler was baptized and raised in the Catholic faith. He even served as an altar boy in his youth.

Hitler's Views on Christianity
He often publicly expressed support for Christianity, particularly in the early years of his political career. He saw Christianity as a useful tool for promoting German culture and values and he publicly professed to be a Christian.

The Nazi Party's View on Christianity
The Nazi Party's official stance on Christianity was one of ambivalence. While some Nazi leaders, like Hitler, publicly professed to be Christian, others were openly hostile to Christianity. The Party's ideology emphasized the importance of Germanic culture and the "Aryan" race, which led to tensions with the Christian Church.

Conclusion
Hitler was raised in a Catholic family and publicly professed to be a Christian.

Unlike your religion, there's are requirements for being a Christian. Go to church and calling yourself one, are not part of it. A Christian is basically someone that follows the faith of Jesus Christ and obeys the commandments of God. I don't think Hitler qualifies for that.
Not everyone that calls me LORD shall enter the kingdom of God. That's what Jesus said himself.
Unlike Islam, you can kill people in the name of God and call yourself a Christian. I hope that's clear enough for you?

Why are we so hypocritical with the truth?
Dangote is underpricing the crude and overpricing the refined products and the FG is wilding the big stick to ensure Dangote makes more profit but same cannot be done to ensure Nigerians get fair pricing.

If these foreign refiners buy at a higher price, transport it to their countries, refine it and transport it back to Nigeria and it is still cheaper than what Dangote is selling, what does that tell us?

Inflation in Nigeria started and is still being sustained by the Dangote group.

The rich should allow the poor breadth.

You're assuming the oil producers are not the one overpricing their products?

Ojuntana:
That's not true
The winner of Nigeria's presidential has always had over 50% of total votes except for 2023.
So there's no way you'll have runoff every four years just as we've nor had runoff on account of spread. The point being made is that democracy is known to be a popularity contest. Thus, anyone who wins should be seen to be the most popular with the electorate. Having a winner with 30% of votes does not sound like popularity in my view

Don't worry, henceforth you'll see how difficult (or impossible) it is to have 50% of the vote cast in Nigeria if we have at least 3 prominent candidates like we did in the last election.
Even if you use the electoral college style in the last election, APC would have won.

I say make I clean my eyes small, the next thing I see na Chelsea 0:1 West Ham. 😂

If you were a shareholder in the distribution company, you will think otherwise and understand better.
I can bet you for free that more than 85% of people in your community dont pay a dime for power.

Its only in Nigeria that people want services they don't pay for.

Nigerians are not paying for power, the distribution companies are surviving on the subsidy.

I can also bet you that there are communities around you that still have up to 18hrs power.

I reside in Nicon town estate, I get 24hrs power except where there is general power outage. They are communities and other estates just around that don't get half of that.

In my VGC residence, power is not as regular as Nicon town but the distribution company have their people running around as soon as you have any power issue....

My point here is these are people who pay bills, Igbokushu is a community in the same neighborhood with Nicon Town but they don't gey up to 10hrs a day.

The distribution companies are not charity organizations. Electricity is expensive, they will focus on their paying customers...

I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT IF YOU HAVE A BUSINESS WHERE CUSTOMERS DONT PAY, YOU WILL STOP SUPPLY.

If you bill people for service not renderred, don't expect payment. How is it the responsibility of the customers to ensure other consumers don't bypass? Are you OK?

Lukgaf:
I am deeply pained as I write this.

Honestly, these people take us for granted! Okay, let me explain . Last weekend, I opened my WhatsApp messages and saw a notice from our community leaders in Olooro, Oyo. The message detailed a threat from NEPA/IBEDC: they 'warned' that our community’s electricity line would be removed from the national grid unless we ensured that people paid their bills promptly and those illegally tapping electricity stopped.

I have no issue with communities working together with NEPA to promote accountability, but issuing threats is disgusting honestly.

It should not be our responsibility (consumer) to do this the same it's not proper how we (the people) not NEPA financed the entire infrastructure, from transformers to poles, and even maintenance. These officials do nothing except show up every month to distribute bills and collect money. Bizarre!

In fact, it’s alleged and it's like even the electricity chairman of my former community has said multiple times - that whenever there’s a fault, NEPA will refuse to fix it. It is the community that hire a private engineer to fix it ourselves and that they will even take a bribe before they disconnect the entire light before the private engineer can not initiate such repair. It's infuriating!

And when I challenged them at their office, they have the audacity to say, "Your community is just too impatient".

Impatient? How? Till when?

In many countries of the world, this is not how things work. Utility companies take full responsibility for electricity infrastructure and maintenance. They even communicate with consumers about planned maintenance and expected downtimes.

This is not an isolated issue. My friend’s community in Oyo received the same threat from NEPA. Ironically, I had once joked with Wasiu that I rarely saw their lights on, only for this to happen. What’s worse, these same officials will still bring bills for a service not rendered or conveniently restore power only when they want to distribute bills. Haba!

What is our crime?

I was even more disgusted when I read Dr. Fadare Nureni’s comments on how NEPA has thrown the people of Iseyin into total darkness—simply because they refused to tolerate this injustice.

Is this how we’re going to continue in this country? Why is it so difficult to do things right? And is IBEDC no longer privatized? In every other privatized industry, like telecommunications, I don’t suffer if another customer refuses to pay for their service. If Mr. A doesn’t recharge his Glo data, does that affect my internet connection? Then why should entire communities be punished for defaulters?

Electricity should not be any different honestly.

We have been taken for granted in this country, by the police, at higher institutions (go and read Dr. Moses Udoiso on the madness of transcript collection), in our hospitals, by immigration officers at passport offices, by our so-called security forces, by our government.

Think of any system, and you’ll see Nigerians being shortchanged, forced to compromise, or told to “be patient” in the face of blatant injustice.

Please, what is so difficult about giving every household a prepaid meter—either freely or at a subsidized rate—so that everyone pays for exactly what they use if we are serious? What stops IBEDC from tracking and penalizing electricity thieves themselves? Why should communities be forced to pay for every fault that arises? That is not our responsibility, please!

It’s high time we speak up!

The root cause of this problem is silence. People refuse to speak out, and when someone dares to, they face frustration and backlash. You’ll hear things like, “Ẹ yin fẹ sọ pe ẹ gbọn abi?” (So, you think you’re wise?).

No. This is not about wisdom—it’s about justice.

The elite, especially, must speak up whenever injustice is inflicted on the people. We are not animals. We deserve better. Our government must understand that its primary duty is to protect the interests of the people, not frustrate them. They will be held accountable for their actions, if not in this life, then on the Day of Judgment.

To the good people of Iseyin and Oyo, I stand with you in this struggle. Together, we say NO to injustice.

God bless Iseyin.
God bless Oyo.
God bless Oyo State.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

I remembered we took IBDC to court for related issues. They disconnected us, but we won them in court. Till now, my area in Ilorin always have lights. They're counting on your ignorance. If you feel your rights have been breached by any service provider, take them to court o. This is no longer National electric where you'll feel whatever you do is for the country, they're now private organizations. If they can't maintain their own infrastructures, let them go into other businesses like buying foodstuffs from the north and sell in the south. Don't dull yourself

Ojuntana:
The US does not use the electorate votes
They use the electoral college
They don't use spread at all
Spread in Nigeria is still at a low bar, 25% of a states' votes is a very small minority. That's an F in terms of percentiles
Internal crisis is not unique to PDP
They had same in 2015 and so bounced back in 2019
APC has had its fair share of internal crisis. They even had an illegal chairman

That makes it worse, because the number of electoral vote is somewhat dependent on the population of the in a state. Nigeria has her own uniqueness which will make some practice bad ideas here.
In Nigeria of today, raise the bar into the seat of the presidency in terms of number of votes and be sure of a runoff every four years and that won't still guarantee good governance. We have some hundreds of different tribes across the country. You're really popular if you can get at least, 25% to vote in your favor in at least 24 States. The only problem I'm seeing with our election is transparency and how easy it is four INEC to subvert the will of the people.

Ojuntana:
Wrong! The winner of election was pass the 270 mark for electoral college votes which is the majority. If no candidate passes the 270 mark it will shift to the Congress to elect the president

PDP had lesser number of states in 2015, then higher in 2019 and had a dip in 2023. So your predictions is wide off the mark. Number of states does not signify death of a party. If it did, ACN will still be alive now

We're talking about polling beyond half of the popular votes. Trump got less than 50%. That has been the basis of this conversation. Having the highest number of votes in Nigeria doesn't guarantee victory either. You have to have the required national spread.
There might not be a party called PDP in 20years if their internal crisis continues.
